The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency update in 2018 reported 50 fatal fires linked with emollient use. It detailed the fire risk and new advice aimed at fire service and health care professionals in reporting of such fire incidents and educating the public on safer use of emollients. This study investigates how this has been communicated internally and publicly, with 52 Fire and Rescue Services (FRSs) websites and, 191 Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs), and 21 Local Health Boards (LHBs) formularies accessed. A Freedom of Information Request (FOIR) was also made, giving further details of implementations. Our study revealed that 63% of FRSs, 32% of CCGs and, 72% of LHBs gave no safety advice within their website or formularies. Of the 37% of FRSs and 68% of CCGs that did, only 5% and 4% were sufficiently up to date. 27% of FRSs and 28% of CCGs/LHBs revealed that they had no warning/advice internally in their FOIR responses and 25% of FRSs and, 35% of CCG/LHBs had not disseminated advice on using emollient safely to the public. We suggest improvements in safety campaigns using a multiagency and national approach and recommend organizations to educate professionals to improve reporting and effective dissemination.

根据 MHRA 安全更新评估消防和救援服务与 NHS 之间关于润肤剂火灾风险的沟通

药品和保健品监管局在 2018 年的更新报告了 50 起与润肤剂使用有关的致命火灾。它详细介绍了火灾风险和针对消防和医疗保健专业人员报告此类火灾事件和教育公众更安全地使用润肤剂的新建议。本研究通过访问 52 个消防和救援服务 (FRS) 网站、191 个临床委托组 (CCG) 和 21 个地方卫生委员会 (LHB) 的处方，调查内部和公开沟通的方式。还提出了信息自由请求 (FOIR)，提供了实施的更多细节。我们的研究表明，63% 的 FRS、32% 的 CCG 和 72% 的 LHB 未在其网站或处方集中提供安全建议。在 37% 的 FRS 和 68% 的 CCG 中，只有 5% 和 4% 是最新的。27% 的 FRS 和 28% 的 CCG/LHB 表示他们在 FOIR 响应中没有内部警告/建议，25% 的 FRS 和 35% 的 CCG/LHB 没有向公众传播安全使用润肤剂的建议。我们建议使用多机构和国家方法改进安全运动，并建议组织教育专业人员以改进报告和有效传播。
